Bondar
Bondar is certainly a name worth becoming familiar with. CAMPBELL MATTINSON, The Wine Front
A dynamic set of new release wines from Bondar. MIKE BENNIE, The Wine Front
Bondar are one of the best examples of modern Aussie winemaking to date. Beautifully expressive, pure with medium weight styling but holding excellent vineyard and variety derived intensity. Purity of fruit, site specific nuance and a textural profile that leans to digestible over the imposing is the defining features of these excellent wines.
The small brand comes from husband and wife team, Andre Bondar and Selina Kelly and they farm 20 hectare Rayner vineyard in the northern, higher altitude area of McLaren Vale bordering Blewitt Springs and Seaview. It's notable for the sand and ironstone at the Blewitt Springs end which plays up spicier and savoury elements in the wines, adding fragrance. It already boasts 50 and 65 year old Grenache and Shiraz plantings respectively while Counoise has been added to the mix and in future more southern Rhone varietals will join the team.
